Scottsdale PI Lena Jones investigates a case that causes her to have a crisis of conscience about who deserves justice.

When the man who raped Scottsdale PI Lena Jones when she was a child is released from prison, Lena is waiting for him in the parking lot -- with a big knife. ''Papa'' Brian Wycoff survives their meeting, but the next day, his wife, who knew about his crimes and enabled him, is found dead in their home, shot through both eyes. Terrified he will be next, Wycoff violates his parole and flees to his brother-in-law's ranch. But soon, he is found tortured to death.

Suspicion first falls on Lena. When authorities question her, she admits to having been tempted to kill her former foster father but that someone beat her to the punch. Suspicion then falls on Wycoff's other victims, the now-grown men and women he abused when they were in his care. When Lena takes up the case, more to protect one of the mothers who has been arrested than to find the real killer, her conscience is torn. Does a serial child rapist really deserve justice?
